Girls Soccer: Glastonbury Ends Northwest Catholic's 48-Game Streak

On Friday, Glastonbury defeated Northwest Catholic 2-0 in a CCC out-of-conference game to end the Indians' 48-game unbeaten streak and increase its own win streak to eight.

The loss was the first for Northwest Catholic since the Indians lost to Lewis Mills in the 2010 Class M semifinals.

"We were aware they had gone 48 games without losing but we were ready to break it," Glastonbury senior defender Sydney Keane said.

Early on, Glastonbury (8-0-1) frustrated the talented Indians, and refused to allow them anywhere near the Tomahawks' final 18.

This was going to be a different game.

"The backline is something we focus on — that's the first thing we try and establish," Glastonbury coach Joe Finocchiaro said.

The Tomahawks then took a 1-0 lead with 14:28 left when Taylor Walker found the back of the net on a direct kick from about 30 yards out. They then added to it with 32:47 left in the second half when Maddy Lamagna put home a pass from Maddy Gray in the box.

With the lead in hand, Glastonbury pushed the Indians to the outside and refused to let them get any closer.

Northwest Catholic (6-1-2) finished the second half with just one opportunity in the box and no shots.

"They just shut us down, their outside backs did a great job of stepping in and winning a lot of balls," Northwest Catholic coach Todd Sadler said. "I give them all the credit in the world. They were like a wall back there and we couldn't break through."
